Episode notes
Many Early Pivots Before Finding Fit
- Dakota tried blogging, dropshipping, web design and crypto before finding copywriting and ghostwriting.
- He pivoted to be a big fish in a small pond and combined skills to build Growth Ghost.
Work Jobs That Buy Learning Time
- Use jobs that buy you time to learn transferable skills rather than burning out after work.
- Choose roles that allow listening to books/podcasts and practicing skills during slow time to compound future gains.
Take Calculated Risks Early
- Take big risks in your twenties because the upside is essentially infinite while the downside is rebuildable.
- Use leverage (time, money, skills) and accept early failures as learning that compounds later.
